CW: Not so positive Instagram feedback
Instagram's #UI on mobile sucks. You can only explore a menu from the bottom, unless you want to go to your main feed. If you want to go to the #ExploreTab, to follow a celebrity, you'll have to go to #YouTube, Search for the celebrity, go to the links button, and Swipe down to go to the Instagram link, Wait for the page to load and then you can follow. Also, Why tf does Instagram allow you to message creator but it says, "This account can't receive your message because requests aren't accepted for everyone,." At that point the, "Message," Button shouldn't even be their

Comparing the Explore Tab at Mastodon.social and Mastodon.cloud, and anecdotally at least I think the two Fediverse instances displays very similar (if not almost identical) set of posts/toots.
I have inadequate data/insight whether to call this good or bad.
It is, though, afaiu, undeniably algorithmic. (...but curated or not? I don't know.)

CW: AOC on threads but never tried fedi! Why?
@Miro_Collas @openwebfriend
We believe one role of the politician in the USA today is also to have people glued to their devices as much as possible, to extract the most value out of the person for free and other reasons.Fedi instances generally are not engineered to do that, with the exception of #Mastodon, and its "#ExploreTab" and its new focus on Boost and #LikeCounts that botFarms are designed to game.

Does anyone else think the "Explore" timeline on #Mastodon's implementation goes against what made fediverse so great to begin with?
If not, why?

Yeah, there's a reason why I:
1) never use the "official" app
2) never recommend the "official" app
3) never refer to the "official" app
4) never assent to the idea that there could ever be one app that's "official."Because it's kinda off. It's kind of a cultural half-breed.

@RL_Dane
The #ExploreTab is indeed one of the most toxic #MastodonRegressions that #MastodonDevs have introduced. Also forced javascript. We can see the bots are pumping the #turderatti with instant "#fame".Interestingly, ninety percent of people complaining about #techLayoffs at the #dotCons were in that joining-window also.

The #EuropeanCommission is at the top of the #ExploreTab on some servers, so it must be popular and an authority on stuff.
Seriously, fediverse went from noone caring what it says about the #ProxyWar six months ago to a few ex-#twitterBots boosting it.

CW: Mastodon rant do not open
@ParadeGrotesque
We were trying to work out what this has to do with #Mastodon. Then we realised the service is likely being inundated by a #botFarm, and Mastodon encourages #botFarms now with the #ExploreTab.:p
We think someone is trying to offer a 'friendly' service they should probably be on an I2P instance anyway?

CW: self-hosting technicalities, explore tab
I am on a self-hosted single-user instance. In my explore view, only the tabs "Hashtags" and "For you" are populated. Both "Posts" and "News" are empty.
In the admin interface, there are no proposed trends that I could unlock either. Is there a special setting to enable the generation of trending posts and news?

CW: Worrying a bit about Mastodon v4
I realise I see a lot of COVID, political, eye contact (ow), etc, posts on that front page without CW.
That's not good. 😕 Might be a result of the algorithm doing its work over there.
Though perhaps that is just the property of big/general servers. May silence those instances if needed.
